Step 1: What to consolidate

To complete
Step 1 What to Consolidate
:
  1. Select
    Divisional Consolidation
     from
    Entity type
     to get the Consolidations folder. The path is
    Organizer
    General Information
    Basic Return Information
    Entity Information
    Entity Type
  2. Select the
    Consolidations
     folder in the Organizer.
  3. Select
    Step 1 - What to Consolidate
    .
  4. Select
    Consolidated Returns List
    .
  5. A screen that shows the division listing appears.
  6. Review the division and eliminations names in your Organizer.
  7. Go to the  Other Divisions section and view the other members of the consolidations. The
    Return
     field is required. The
    Company Name
     and
    Division #
     fields are optional.
  8. Select
    Division Listing Complete
     after you enter all the consolidation members.
If you delete a return from the listing, you must click the Division Listing Complete button. To change a return number, delete the return number, click the Division Listing Complete button, enter the new return number, and click the Division Listing Complete button again.
Select divisional options for federal consolidations
  1. Set the entity type of each lower tier entity as Division.
  2. Where available, enter detail with Tax Combination Code (TCC) for all division. Otherwise, the detail will not be consolidated and you may see duplicate descriptions when you consolidate. The system consolidates the detail by TCC codes for all divisions and brings the detail for that information to the Organizer during consolidation.
  3. The default for a whitepaper detail is not to break it down by divisions. The detail prints in portrait format for a single partnership return. You must select one of the check boxes in the Federal Print Options (navigate to Organizer > Consolidations > Step 2 - Select Print and Calculations > Print Options) so print detail by divisions with or without the company name in order to print the detail by divisions.
